Looks like Eddie Jones will go into the WC with five straight losses. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
The problem is they're near guaranteed a semi-final.

No. No they can't Stan
Maybe if you let Rennie continue. But not this year. Head office fucked you all

Don't write them off.
They can cobble together a decent 23.
Couple that with the cageyness of RWC footie and red card roulette.
Anything can happen.
They have real issues all over the park. Only saviour is easy draw.

I was expecting more cunning ploys from ultra fox Eddie, then I thought he must be keeping his RWC powder dry, then I saw his face in the coaches box... he's not that good an actor is he?

Papali’i 21 tackles no misses. More than the 3 other loosies combined
Lol he was awful. Zero impact at the ruck. No carry. No solid hits.
We missed Cane
Cane looked a bit off the boil last year, but one thing he never lost was defensive starch.
He stops guys dead in their tracks.

No they have nothing. The wallabies are done and looking ahead

If the answer is Will Skelton the question must be a big slow forward with a lack of athleticism. Eddie is clutching at straws.

I reckon the RWC trophy would make a good moa eggholder.

Yes Will is even more of a lumberer than before. But Eddie always liked physical dimensions. Over skill, even.

Now that his body has had the opportunity to heal, he's playing vintage rugby again. Should be the first name down on the sheet.

That starch matters at test level. DP needs to find that.

He did play the 4 subs at once move. Didn't quite work out.

is that the first AB game in a while that the bench actually made good impact? Could have gone on even earlier.
